Undid revision 1297654580 by Andra Febrian (talk) these two brands has been merged, if current Geometry vehicles under Galaxy channel is discontinued, then those discontinued vehicles would be split into two different articles, which would cause confusion to the readers.

Restored revision 1297654580 by Andra Febrian (talk): This literally causes another confusion as these vehicles never fell under Geely Galaxy sales network or branding at all. For any pre-merge history and product it should fall under the Geely Geometry article, otherwise it is pointless to have that article around

Geely Galaxy (Chinese: 吉利银河; pinyin: Jílì yínhé) is a brand of Geely Auto, which is itself a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding. Unveiled in February 2023, Geely Galaxy specializes in new energy vehicles (plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles).[1]

Geely Galaxy was originally a product line under Geely and was upgraded to an independent brand in 2025.

History

In February 2023, at a launch event in Hangzhou, China, Geely Auto unveiled their new product line named Geely Galaxy, along with a lineup of seven vehicles to be rolled out by 2025.[2] The product line is positioned to fill the gap between Geely's Geometry series and their premium Zeekr brand.[3] Its first production model, the L7, was also unveiled at this event, as well as the Galaxy Light concept sedan. Pre-sales for Geely Galaxy's second model, the L6, began at the Chengdu Auto Show in August 2023. Geely Galaxy's third model, the E8, which bears a heavy resemblance to the Galaxy Light concept shown at the launch event, was officially launched in January 2024.[4][5]

In 2024, three models were added to the Geely Galaxy line-up, starting from the Geely Galaxy E5 battery electric SUV, the related Geely Galaxy Starship 7 plug-in hybrid SUV, and the Geely Xingyuan. During the launch of the Geely Xingyuan in October 2024, Geely Auto Group CEO Gan Jiayue announced that Geely Geometry has been merged with Geely Galaxy. Within the Geely Galaxy brand and dealership network, Geome is positioned as a "smart boutique small car series".[6]

In February 2025, the LEVC L380 became available in Geely Galaxy dealerships. Previously, the model was only offered through LEVC dealership network.[7]

In March 2025, Geely Galaxy was upgraded from a product line under Geely Auto into an independent brand.[8][9]
